Heaving conditions by freezing of soils
Abstract The engineer is normally concerned with the effects of the freezing of soils; the heaving pressure, the amount of frost heave and the thaw weakening. To quantify these effects various soil parameters and theoretical considerations are used, often leading to different frost susceptibility criteria. Although a tremendous amount of work has been done to develop frost susceptibility criteria, it seems that, from an engineering point of view, little progress has been made over the last decades. However, an important development has taken place concerning the theory behind the frost heaving mechanism and to develop numerical models of frost heave.
